With her recent body of work ‘Between Menopause and Old Age’ Rocio Boliver has created her own deranged aesthetic and moral solutions for the “problem of age” exposing a broken society based on looks which has seen old age became synonymous with insult. Join Rocio to celebrate her Sweet 60th Birthday at this Birthday party of a life time.

Rocio Boliver’s practice is a sharp and focused critique of the many repressive ideologies that burden the lives of women. “In this pasteurized society, I prefer to cause disgust, hatred, rejection, confusion, weariness, anxiety, hostility, fear … to further promote mental asepsis.”

Fierce Says:We can’t think of an artist that better sums up everything Fierce is about than Rocio Boliver. An absolute warrior woman, spectacular, disgusting, angry, explicit, campy and beautiful. The perfect way to close Fierce 2017.

Sweet 60th is included in the Fierce Weekend Pass which can be purchased here.
